Leftside Magazine

Yesterday I canceled my subscription to Outside Magazine. Why? Well, to give you a hint I now call it "Leftside" magazine. I've subscriber to that magazine since July of this year. I love the outdoors and had on occation bought the magazine at a book store. A few months ago I decided to buy a subscription, after all, I only cost $14.95 a year. That sure beats paying over $4.00 a month at a store.

Below is a copy of the email I sent to Outleftside magazine that will explain it all.

Outside magazine,

I enjoy the outdoors very much and have enjoyed your magazine. I love to hike, mountain bike ride, golf and paddle outrigger canoes.
While reading this Septembers issue I was very surprised at what I found on page 32, Mr. Van Jones, environmental advocate, attorney, author, self proclaimed communist and hater of anything to do with the United States or white people.


Sorry, for some reason your magazine left the "self proclaimed communist and hater of anything to do with the United States or white people" part out. Why would that be?
Oh, but you did also refer to him as an "luminary." How nice of you.

While I do admire environment advocates, I like to think of myself as one sometimes, I find it disturbing you would feature any "self proclaimed communist" in your pages.
I suppose next month on the cover of Outside we'll find a picture of Che Guevara, freedom fighter, doctor and all around nice Marxist.

Well, I hope never to see that cover or another issue of Outside magazine. Please, discontinue my subscription and refund my pro-rated subscription fee.


Was I right to cancel my subscription? Of course I was, I'm ALWAYS correct.
